Origin/meaning
The lion's head is already seen on the oldest seals of the town, known since 1555. Two later seals, both from the 17th century, also show the lion's head.
The lion is derived from the arms of the Counts of Nassau, who ruled the area for many centuries, and who granted city rights in 1323.
Literature: Stadler, 1964-1971, 8 volumes.
